Piper Skye is rock ‘n’ roll. She’s party all night, sleep all day. She’s get wild and be free.
Or she would be if she had the time.
And the energy.
And not being so awkward would probably help, too.
As the owner of a thriving dessert business, Piper spends her days at school and her nights elbow deep in batter and frosting. She’s confident her hard work and sacrifice will pay off as long as she stays focused and sticks to the plan.
Jake Hyde is a workaholic with a jaded outlook on life. Surrounding himself with employees he considers his brothers, he long ago made the decision that his custom garage would be his focus.
Fate, as it often does, has other ideas. Plus, a killer sense of humor.
Thrown together by coincidence, the gruff mechanic and the sweet as sin baker have instant sparks. Suddenly, all of their carefully made plans have taken a giant freakin’ left turn.
And they do it on the back of a Harley.
*Warning: This book is intended for adults. It contains frequent adult language and situations.
Don’t try this at home.
At least not without stretching first.
Maybe keep the sneakers on for traction, too.
***This is book one in a series, but each book will be a STANDALONE with a new couple. NO cliffhanger.***

Fun read
By Angela
Overall, I loved this book. So why did Hyde and Seek work for me?
The first sentence, “Babe, that your van?” and the following pages had to be the funniest opening to a book I've read in a long time. The thoughts running through Piper’s head were hilarious and made her immensely likable right off the bat. There were some really funny lines throughout, including one in which Piper was thinking that her general vibe screamed introvert, “Actually, I don’t think you can scream introvert, but it definitely mumbled it.” Yeah, that was great. The line that made my side ache from laughing and forced me to read it to my hubby at one in the morning came from a stylist about to do Piper's hair, "Mr. Hyde had a request, but he said it’s up to you. I, on the other hand, am saying that the choice is not up to you, and we’re just doing what he said. ‘Cause, Sweetheart, your man might be fine with a capital ‘F$&@ Yeah’, but he is also scary as a broken condom on prom night.”
The story flowed very well. Frost did a good job introducing us to the Hyde world. The guys were likable, so that’s good going forward. It looks like this is the first in a potential series of books, which means Frost not only needed to tell Piper and Jake's story, but give us a few glimpses at other characters we'll (hopefully) be seeing more of in future books. She succeeded in doing this without making the main story seem choppy. Intrigue was brewing, but the writer didn't jump right into it. I love reading the "courting" portion of a romance and since this one was both funny and hot I was glad Frost gave time for that courtship before the extra story conflict was thrown at me. I was ready for the story to escalate when it did and was pleasantly surprised by how it all played out. I read a ton of books and I am almost never surprised to find out the identity of the antagonist when I am reading a book or watching a movie. I read this book really not altogether sure how things would play out. It was so much fun to read an ending I did NOT see coming. So kudos.
I'm also a sucker for the "Big Age Difference" trope. Not sure why, I just know it works for me. This story, though, played out a bit differently than other books I've read with a large age gap between the main characters, but not in a bad way. Yes, there are about 14 years difference in age between Piper and Jake, but because of Piper's maturity readers are not going to be reading a book about the older man needing to take care of a much younger woman. If this is what you look for in this trope then you will be disappointed. But if you enjoy seeing a somewhat grumpy, jaded, thirty-something guy get reminded how fun and colorful life can be, and get that reminder from a delightful, yet mature, 20 year old woman, this story is one for you.
So what didn't work for me? Well, it's not really something that didn't work, it was just something that meant I had to dip into the whole "suspension of disbelief" thing. I read for entertainment and I like whatever the heck I want to like, not what someone tells me I should like. And because of this I am very good at suspending disbelief when I am enjoying a good story, and Layla Frost's story is just that: good! But that's not to say I didn't have to work a bit to believe a 20 year old would have it together like Piper. A mortgage? A successful business? Having enough experience in her short life to make elaborate wedding cakes? I guess none of that is unheard of, just definitely not the norm. I enjoyed the hell out of the story, though, so I went with the "suspension of disbelief" thing because doing so meant I could get back to reading more about Piper doing s*** to make Jake let loose those sexy as sin growls. Yum!
The other thing that ordinarily doesn't work for me, but did here, is first person POV. I usually avoid books written in the first person, mainly because so few writers are good at letting readers get to know characters other than just the one narrating the story. If we only know what Piper knows, how do we get to understand Jake without reading some of the story from Jake’s point of view? That’s a tricky problem a writer faces when he or she decides to stick with first person narration. Being able to fully flesh out all characters with only the observations made by one character is a challenge few writers master. I'm trying to be better about giving first person POV books a chance, but I still rarely bother reading a book if I find the sample to be first person POV. Lucky for me, Frost had a kick-ass opening that drew me in enough to keep reading, because she wrote one fun book I would have otherwise passed on. And Frost rewarded me at the end with a bit of Jake's POV.
I was going to give Hide and Seek four stars mainly because I rarely give out five stars. But considering all the crappy books I've read recently, I decided this was not a good reason to not hand out a five star rating and reconsidered my qualifications for a five star book. So here are some reasons this book is better than four stars:
1. Good editing. I can not tell you how annoying it is to read a book with a ton of typos, poor grammar, and misspelled or misused words. This is a huge problem with self-edited books and will totally kill an otherwise good story for me.
2. "Hey, I did not see that coming!" I'm not surprised too often so it was refreshing to come to the climax and realize I was not even close to figuring out "who done it."
3. The re-read test. I was lucky to read an earlier version of Hyde and Seek several months ago but when it came time to read the finished product I was a bit worried it wouldn't keep my attention the second time around. No problems! Each page was just as much fun the second time around so readers will get their money's worth each time they read it.
3. Well developed characters. I got a good feel for all the characters, not just the main ones.
4. Nailed the first person narration. Can't tell you enough how much I hate first person narration but Frost won me over. The first line intrigued me enough for me to keep reading once I realized it was going to be first person. It helped that Piper was a likable character so she was not an annoying narrator.
5. Hot factor. Phew, Jake is one yummy alpha male. And I won't spoil it for you, but I could only hope to be called into his office.
6.. I got a HEA with no cliffhangers.
7. No cliffhanger, but it did leave me wanting more. More stories of those hot guys of Hyde! Get your fingers typing, Layla, because I want more.
I could knock off a star because I did have to work a bit at believing a 20 year old could be as together as Piper was, but in the end that really was not enough to knock off a star. Taking in all my reasons listed above, plus the fact that overall I just plain liked the story, I have to give Hyde and Seek five stars. A fun, sexy read.

An enjoyable read with some sexy and sweet
By S
This romance has some good things going for it. The curvy, sweet heroine and the alpha bad boy were a good match together. I liked that he was tatted, he even rocked a sexy man-bun, blond hair and green eyes, and I really liked that he was a mechanic. I thought some details about the h needed more attention, like her school life, but I did like her. She seemed mature at times (her own home, a business start-up, a car, etc.), but then she would act a little young to me. She's 20 and the hero's 34.
I also enjoyed how bossy, possessive and jealous the H was. He even does that caveman speak, grunting and growling "Mine." I thought this had a kind of KA feel to it, especially with how the H acted and talked. Most sentences ended with "yeah?" I think the whole caveman thing is sexy, but I wanted more from him. We don't get his POV until the last 15% of the story, and once I had that, I wished maybe I'd had it earlier.
He's sexy and alpha, but he's also sweet and very gone over this girl. A bad boy who wants good love, he's actually the first to confess love. He did put his foot in his mouth, though, more than once, and by the end of the book, I'm thinking, dude, get it together. At the end, when things start coming to a head with the relationship and with a baddie on the loose, I wanted them both to be smarter.
For me, the pacing felt a bit off. I'm reading and wondering why I'm not finished yet. Not that I wasn't enjoying it, but I felt like I needed more to happen at certain times and less at other times. The I-love-you's come at about 50% in, and I tend to not like that when there are a lot more pages left to go. So, then it was drama, with his ex, her wannabe boyfriend, and some crazy stalker at large, and other smaller things going on.
The sex was erotic and hot, and this couple felt sweet and good together. So, even with some quibbles, I did enjoy this and am glad I tried this new author. She has a nice feel about her writing, and I'd read her again. She set up some sexy, interesting secondary characters, namely Kase and Rhys. On a side note, the editing's fairly tight, and there's also a sweet epilogue.

New Author and Promising Series - ARC for honest review
By Lauren - Kindle Unlimited
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review, and I am super late putting the review online. It wasn't that I did not want to write it, I was having a hard time explaining my feelings. Funny as I was going to write my review I read a few others and one person said they equal parts liked it and hated it and that was close to my feelings. But I liked it more than hated so I am around a 3.5-4 rating.
Overall, I really liked the book and would recommend it to anyone. I really enjoyed the romantic suspense aspect of the book but to me that was introduced a little late in this book. The end was a surprise to me and I think that is what made the book so good to me. Most of the time I can figure it out, with this one, the ending was a surprise to me. Also, I felt that when the H/h had issues they worked it out like real people for most of the book, and I felt that lent a little more legitimacy to a relationship between them. Many reviewers have compared the author to Kristen Ashley and I cannot deny I am a huge fan so maybe that is what drew me to the book. I can also see the rest of the series developing from this book.
Now that I said all the stuff I liked about it, there were a few things I had issues with. One was the “meet cute” of the H/h, I felt it was abrupt and as soon as they meet she is all of a sudden best friends with all of his friends. Plus everyone wants her and is trying to steal her away from our H, but it’s like she was hatched at that moment. Had she never met any men before that?
Also, personally I am not a fan of the age difference of the H/h. I think that is mainly because she did not seem to be a typical 20 year old. In my opinion there was no need for the author to make her that young, but I can see why since there several plot points like her in being school that worked well with that age.
